Default Cutout clearance problems?

What is the typical amount of clearance lost when using a cutout? i know you want to set it angled at about 45 degrees to reduce drone inside the car, so i guess it all depends on the angle but is it usually an inch or so o clearance lost? Im going to have LTs, catted Y and GMMG catback and plan on lowering soon. should i even bother looking into a cutout? Thanks in advance

I really don't think there is any clearance lost with a cutout. It is the same diameter piping as your exhaust and should come straight out off of the i-pipe.

Also, are there any common leaking problems with cutouts? I bought GMMG because i love the sound and want to make sure that the GMMG is all i hear when the cutout is closed.

I don't think you will lose any clearance but if you do it won't be much
